Kenya's military says 'most' hostages freed after forces launch attack on militants inside mall
Fox News ^ | 9-22-12

Posted on 09/22/2013 2:35:39 PM PDT by rawhide

"Most" of the hostages who have been holed up at an upscale shopping mall in Kenya's capital after it was attacked by members of an Al Qaeda-linked Somali militant group on Saturday have been freed, Kenya's military says.

Kenya's armed forces launched a "major" assault on the militants on Sunday night -- about 30 hours after the Islamists stormed the Nairobi mall in an attack that left at least 68 dead and 175 injured. At around midnight local time, Kenya's Defence Forces said it had rescued most hostages and had taken control of most of the mall, but declined to give numbers. Officials said four Kenyan military personnel were wounded in the operation.

"This will end tonight," Kenya's Disaster Operation Center earlier said.

The announcement of the military assault came after Associated Press reporters said they heard a large explosion followed by silence.

I just saw on the news where three of the terrorists were Americans, and two were from Minnesota and one from Missouri. Minnesota is being overrun with Somalis. Being the liberal, socialist state they are, they deserve them!

“capture the muzzies...”

No. A complete waste of time. Then, you have to feed ‘em, house’em, give ‘em a Koran to read (if, indeed, they can read), and a rug...then a soccer field...there are cheaper, simpler outcomes.

“... three of the terrorists were Americans, and two were from Minnesota and one from Missouri. “

Well, well, well!!! So, we bitch that Saudi Arabia and Somalia export terrorism. Because of our liberal immigration policies, now we do, too, so I suppose that we don’t have any darn business complaining about it!!!

I hope that Kenya makes some seriously strong complaints about the US. If they value the safety of their citizens, they should.

You would think that’d be newsworthy

Incredibly, the drive by media (NBC world news) did report on the 5 US Navy personnel missing after a chopper crashed in the Red Sea. But it
probably never made it to the low-info. public. Too busy worrying about Eli Manning.

perhaps you missed what came after "capture"?

...slice them open, fill them with pig blood and pig meat, and let dogs eat them.

Cheaper, simpler.

Yup. I fear there may be more, but we’ll never hear of it in our MSM...and one year from now, there will be yet another congressional committee hearing. The usual suspects will invoke their 5th amendment protections, or display the usual breathtaking mendacity, and scurry away from the lights like so many cockroaches.

Kenya’s president, Uhuru Kenyatta, said in a national address Sunday that "We will punish the masterminds swiftly and indeed very painfully."

Excellent - Kenya is going to invade Saudi Arabia.

Now we are hearing 3 of the attackers may be from the USA. Sad.

It’s embarrassing.

Sure, let’s have immigration amnesty. Vote on it right after the news reports that asylum immigrant “Americans” are murdering people en masse in terror attacks overseas.

Are EBT cards held by Somalis' in Minneapolis good in Kenya?

That may be what all the fuss was over?

Hey, why waste good pork meat? Try this instead:

Use your domesticated animals wisely. Cattle and sheep produce milk, leather, wool, and meat for humans. Dogs are for defense and hunting. Pigs are for disposal of unwanted waste, another source of leather, and food for your dogs.

Do they have a Kenya Rifle Association? /s;)

Nobody will see me out shopping between Nov 2013 and the end of Jan 2014 that is a certainty.

Moderate muslims (if the is such a thing) will condemn this in public but will privately cheer them on.

We can’t fix it if we don’t even have the balls to say it = “ISLAM IS DOING THIS” = the media will never say that. I guess when they are blown to bits and dying a horrible death on fire they will still not accept it. They’d rather die than be politically incorrect and risk offending someone. They would rather watch their family burn than say “ISLAM IS DOING THIS”.

Muslims will keep doing this until we kill every single one of them.

He is doing what every other typical “moderate muslim” does.
They will publicly denounce this behavior. This is how they make sure that no muslims are ‘profiled’ and this is how they make sure no guilty white people start offending them. They insure everyone is afraid to be politically incorrect, giving their brothers the freedom to continue to kill and mame.

Then privately they cheer them on when nobody is watching.
